RIDING THE VEHICLE
at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor place your foot out to assist
turning as they can be hit or snagged by passing obstacles or may contact the
wheels.
Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are
"washboard" or rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable
and even cause back injury. "Posting" or riding in a crouched position will often
be required. Slow down and allow your flexed legs to absorb impact.
This vehicle is not designed for riding on roads or highways. In most places it is an
illegal practice. Riding your vehicle on roads or highways could cause a collision to
occur with another vehicle. The tires of this vehicle are not suited for paved road
use. Pavement may seriously affect the handling and control of the vehicle. Riding
on roads or soft shoulders may confuse other road users, especially if your lights
are on. If you have to cross a road, the lead driver should get off his vehicle then,
observe and give directions to the other riders. The last person after crossing then
assists the lead driver to cross. Do not travel sidewalks. They are designated for
pedestrian use.
Water can be a unique hazard. If it is too deep the vehicle may "float" and topple.
Check the water depth and current before you attempt to cross any water. Water
should not go above the footrest. Be wary of slippery surfaces such as rocks,
grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks. A loss of traction may occur.
Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed. The water will act as a brake and
could throw you off the vehicle.
